it's 2012!

This is just a little update to let readers know that this blog is not dead!

I promise myself that I will post more often (when I can). I will be launching new products this year (finally!) so keep a look out.

In the mean time, did you know...

Brushing your teeth 3-times a day is important. But, flossing is more important than brushing your teeth (this doesn't mean you should skip the brushing, though!).

Why?

Flossing reaches below the gum-line and gets out food  that brushing cannot reach. Having left-over food particles causes bacteria to grow. This can cause tartar built-up, heart disease, gingivitis (inflamed gums), periodontal disease (infected to the bone) and bad breathe.

- If you have difficulty sliding your dental floss in-between your teeth (this is due to the tight contacts of your teeth), try using floss coated with wax.

- If you have arthritis or have difficulty using floss, "F-shaped" or "Y-shaped" floss picks may be of help.

This has a 1-star rating on their website, but what I love using is Oral-B Floss Picks.

So... Next time you decide to skip the floss, think of it this way:

You only get ONE set of adult teeth. So, take care of them and your health!
